I would wait on Visa for a day or two. It doesn't look ready to me just now.

Yeah I’ve been watching for a while. Was thinking 190 but then I keep thinking about how close the election is and what that could do. I have cash ready just being cautious

When I look at the chart I can't tell whether it is going up or down.

Worth is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay. Price times number of shares is total purchase price.
Here is the reason I bought TLT and why I think it will go to 165.50. It started moving up. 2 days ago I almost sold for 165.30 but was slow near the close. I shouldn't get greedy when close to my target. Just take what is presented. Kind of like deer hunting. 165.50 is near the top of the upper right trendline.

There's at least 10 loaded questions in there lol.
 
Dumped my United Airlines yesterday. Made 20% and will most likely buy back in later and hopefully make another 20% :)

Maybe getting close to time for the rest of us tho....What do you see to buy? It looks like it's steadily going down for the last month...

Out of 200 DFS @46.84and 100 TLT@165.50 just hit my target and was sold. I was much too early on DFS. I didn't wait for it to turn up but bought at the lower trendline. Buy strength early in the trend but wait to see the trend first. I will probably relearn this until the day I die. Still in GLD. Loss on DFS $350.00. Gain on TLT $289.50. Net loss of $60.50. An example of what to do and an example of what NOT to do. :D

I like to buy ETFs since they move slower. Individual stocks have burned me many times such as DFS today. Like a moth to the flame. :D
 
Sold 100 GLD @ 169.79. Bought 162.16 on 4/13/20.
